BVE: Graphics problem with XP SP2

[kayedj]

I installed WinXP SP2 recently and ever since then, I have had major problems with graphics and BVE...

compare the following two images...

and

I get similar results in the main BVE program and in structure viewer, along with appaling framerates.

I've tried re-installing bve and that doesn't fix it. does anyone have any ideas?

RE: Graphics problem with XP SP2

Check with your graphics card mfg and see if they have SPII problems and if there is a fix for it. If not uninstall SPII until either your graphics drivers are updated, or MS fixes the fix. Also make sure all the support services are running. ( look in taskmanager)

RE: Graphics problem with XP SP2

If you have installed Windows XP recently,
you will need to change your video settings,
from the default Win XP 32 bits (true color)
down to 16 bit (high color)
and 800x600 pixels of resolution via Control Panel and
Video Settings, in order BVE
would be capable to run 3-D objects correctly.
